The Titan's Debt

Beneath every origin story lies a version someone paid to bury.

Mirielle Laurant—brilliant financial researcher with a sixth sense for deception—knows the official tale of Kidemonas CyberSecurity: garage prodigies, genius code, global domination. Clean. Heroic. Sanitized. But then she spots the crack—a minor discrepancy that should’ve been nothing.

Still reeling from her husband’s murder and armed with grief, razor instincts, and a deep distrust of clean narratives, Mirielle assembles a quiet task force: Harriet Godwin, a forensic-minded researcher with a vicious eye for data; Ivy Choate, a rookie reporter whose ambition outruns her access; and Joe Pulver, a retired CIA analyst who never really retired.

What begins as a financial anomaly spirals into something far darker—a decades-old crime, expertly buried and ruthlessly protected. And with Kidemonas on the brink of launching the world’s first Artificial General Intelligence, the stakes shift from reputational ruin to global risk.

Mirielle isn’t just chasing the truth. She’s dodging surveillance, confronting ghosts, and betting everything on the one thing they never saw coming: her.

They built something too big to fail. She’s about to prove them wrong.

The Titan’s Debt is a gripping mystery-thriller where buried secrets, corrupt power, and the ominous rise of AI collide—crafted for readers who relish the tension of Baldacci and the depth of Larsson.
